S21 detention Centre , Cambodia.

This is not nice so be warned.

This was not a very pleasant days entertainment but felt it is something that should be seen while in the area. 
I'm not going to add any moral judgements and will let the photos speak for themselves.

More French buildings in Cambodia.

The first building is in Battambang. It is known as Ancient House which sounds a bit odd as we were told that it was built in about 1920. I could not take as many photos as there was a family living there who we did not know and did not feel like being too pushy. The interior was just plain wood and not too photogenic.



This house we were informed was built in about 1930. I am not sure what the walls were made of as they are really thin with a cement looking coating on them with very little in the way of ripples or warping.










House next door.


Some kind of watch tower.

French Provincial house in Cambodia.

Hi all , sorry for the lack of quality posts for the last couple of weeks. I have been on holiday to Thailand Cambodia and Vietnam. I scheduled the last two posts just to keep the Blog alive and intend to post something more worthwhile in the next couple of weeks.

Some photos which I have taken while in Asia could be of interest for anyone with an interest in either the Vietnam conflict or possibly Pulp settings with all the Temples I visited.

This house we visited is owned by my Girlfriends family, but is due to be demolished by a Japanese company building a highway through the front Garden. Its in a pretty unstable condition at the moment and would cost quite a bit of money to put right. According to the old lady in her seventies (currently living there) she remembers it being built when she was a child. I guess that makes it a late forties early fifties build? which makes it relevant to the French buildings in Vietnam. We passed many buildings in both Cambodia and Vietnam which I would have loved to stop and taken photos of but we did not have time and were often traveling by bus.






























I found a couple more photos which I had taken a couple of days earlier.
